I have to ask....is painting it that color worth over $6K?

 

Call Porsche Exclusive (or email) directly and ask them

Google it.

 

There's a guy on Rennlist who posted the 2016 (calendar year) official PTS list. So look on Rennlist for that.

 

Some colors are approved for some models but not others. This might be the link @mertoun mentioned. Reference Guide to PTS in a MY2016 991 gt3 RS - Rennlist Discussion Forums After you click through for a while, you'll be able to see the checklist of which colors are approved for the Macan vs. those which are undergoing (or still in need of) "feasibility testing."

I want an Oslo Blue Cayman, please. Or heck, any Cayman.

 

That's what I was thinking of. Thanks Louie. Actually dated 5/12/2015, not sure if that's May 12 (US) or December 5 (rest of the world)��

 

Thought you would find this interesting.
Enjoy

Pretty cool, but why they sell the GTS w/out ventilated seats in Florida is beyond me.

 

Don't think you can get ventilated seats with standard GTS seats with alcantara inserts.

To get ventilated seats in GTS, need to select 2 options:

1-upgrade standard GTS seats to all leather or select 14 or 18 way seats in all leather
2-need to option the car with ventilated seats

 

What happens if a PTS car gets into a fender bender accident?

Can the body shop match colors as easily as for a standard color? Or maybe you need to order a whole new car in PTS?

I owned a GT3 with PTS, and the high end body shop I use was able to get the correct paint formula from Porsche by supplying Porsche with the VIN.

 

Let me start off by saying I elected to go PTS in "Fashion Grey." Since this is my first Porsche I wanted to pay homage to the Porsche's of yesteryear with a little throwback to one of the original colors. Additionally, I wanted to have something unique. The fact that it a Porsche Macan makes it a unique vehicle regardless of the color as there are not many in my surrounding area. But I really enjoy when people ask me about the color because it gives me a chance to share with them the rich history of Porsche. A history I have only recently became aware of and a history that I now fully appreciate.

So here she is (see below) and I would be curious your story. Why PTS?

 

I am basic Metallic Jet Black, but I loved reading your story! Thanks!

 

Thanks, love the black Macan's. If I had the ability to keep up a daily cleaning I would have gone with black in a minute. Simple and classy.

 

Nice post, OP, and car looks great. Close to chalk which I don’t believe Macan comes in.

One reason I wouldn’t pick PTS is it’s a lot of money extra for a color and just seems as if they are ripping the consumer off.

I also read in a Porsche magazine that PTS is not really as it sounds, that you really can’t get any color you want.

 

No doubt that is pricey and it is my understanding any color can be had as long as Porsche approves

With that being said I was torn due to the cost but when I look over my shoulder after exiting the car and I get that little kid grin on my face it is well worth it. I am sure I would have gotten the exact same feeling with any of the gorgeous metallic or non-metallic standard offerings but what can I say I wanted to standout a bit. Feeding my alter ego a bit I guess.

And thanks on the color comments. The color is one of those choices where you can tell some love it or hate it. That is what I have grown to love about this car, it is mine, uniquely so. As any other Porsche is to the person who has the pleasure of owing it.

 

I have PTM SC 21’s.........all I got

 

I love PTS and giving Porsche money as this is my 4th one with PTS and now two in-bound.

I would love to know -- what colors did you pick for your two inbound PTS Porsches?

 

What a beautiful color, and I love the name.

I have always wanted a British Racing Green 911 since I was a wee girl.

My Macan GTS is my first Porsche and I did think about ordering her in British Racing Green for a skinny minute, but 1) she is not a 911 and 2) I didn't want to wait the extra additional time to get her. So I got a color that is so NOT like me, Carmine Red

In a few more years when I get tired of my little S5 (and the warranty runs out) I will order my ultimate dream car in a PTS color.

 

British Racing Green with a rich tan interior would be outstanding. That being said I think the red is sharp. I rarely see a Macan in Carmine red and when I do I always take a double and triple look. Outstanding choice.

 

Congrats, @Duffer5! Gorgeous! I've posted before I would like a Macan in GT Silver, which is PTS on the Macan, but I don't think it should be, since it's a Porsche color. I would probably pay a $3k premium, but not $6k.:crying:

 

Thank you, there is some wiggle room in the pricing. Dealers can bring it down a bit but not to $3k.

 

@Duffer5 Congrats - the Fashion Grey looks fantastic, and great story to tell!

 

Why did I go with a PTS color?

I will borrow the words of Bramptonmel (from the UK macanforum in 2016):

“Trying to spec my Macan Turbo on order and I'm really struggling to get excited about the standard colours offered by Porsche. The only interesting one is Sapphire blue otherwise it is black, almost black, so dark blue it might as well be black, metallic black, white, white, not the best silver, poo, and old lady gold.”

This matched how I felt precisely. In my case, I already had a Sapphire Blue Turbo. I liked Carmine red but thought I might get tired of it. So naturally the only possible course of action was Paint to Sample. It’s not a small decision at $6500.

The color needed to look appropriate to the car as a seemingly semi-normal “Daddy-Wagon” toting our 4-year-old around and also appropriate for the hospital, nice restaurant or country club, so something like Tangerine or Viper Green wouldn’t work. Many grays (Nardo, Fashion, Grigio Teslo, Slate Gray) looked nice but gray in general was too common for the car.

Browsing Porsche history I really liked Aventurine Green, Fish Silver Gray, Venetian Blue, and Malachite Green. Of those, only Malachite Green was available (“approved” PTS for Macan)

PCNA Exclusive sent a list of about 30 other Macan approved blues and greens for me to peruse. Fjord Blue was tempting. Some they had no sample of (Barnato Green) and I was even given the option to even match a color I sent them (the proverbial “wife’s scarf), for $23,000 and another 4-6 months of feasibility testing (no cost if it failed). In the end it was the Malachite that won.

I’ll have to wait another 3 months for them to finish it, but it should be gorgeous, and a unicorn. I have only found one other Malachite Green Macan on the internet and it’s Euro-spec so I doubt I’ll run into them any time soon in Virginia! [emoji12] (see below)

Wow, simply stunning, can't wait to see a live picture. Well done!

 

as I was growing up, I always wanted "Signal Grun Prosche!", and I never "ordered" porsche before, always bought off the lot.
now, I have time and money to do so, I went with "Viper Grun (225)" and it was the closest match from Signal green that were approved by Porsche.

Obviously I originally put order in for Signal green (22S), but PAG kicked back and said the color is no longer available which is a shame...
Daniel Margrave, who is specialist at Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur sales has also confirmed this...

Conjunction with PTS and Euro Delivery, and being my production month is May, I am probably not going to see my Macan GTS until late september or october of 2018.

I am also leasing it so re-sale doesnt really matter at this point. (Green exterior and Red interior might sit at the dealer for months if not years, until I buy it back at heavily discounted price! hahaha)

 

At such point as my Macan gains a Cayman brother (cousin?), I might request Oslo Blue PTS. Or so I tell myself. https://www.europeancollectibles.com/vehicles/69/1962-porsche-356b-karmann-hardtop-coupe

 

Saw this Macan Turbo with TEP on autogespot which is a PTS blue. Looks like it could be Oslo but not sure. Sure is snazzy!

Car looks great! With the Macan being Porsche's highest selling model (I think) a custom color is the only way to truly stand out from the masses. I fell in love with this Graphite Blue Metallic GTS but it was way out of budget

 

Wow, that Graphite blue is gorgeous. I have only seen it on a 911 to date but on the Macan it really works too. Thanks for the comments on the color. So far I have 2000 miles in and could not be happier.

 

Green

My husband sent me attached picture. If we ever order another car, would seriously consider PTS. I love this color.

I saw that same car in person and it was beautiful. The BGM I just posted was at the same dealer. Talking to them they actually order quite a few PTS to keep on the lot. I also saw a Mexico Blue Macan GTS on the lot

 

My Local Dealer has a GTS in Porsche Racing Green that they have had on the lot for around 3 months. Looks nice, but they are having trouble selling it.

Thanks for the info but too bad. I'm in the process of getting out of my BMW 640ix GC and into something else (Macan GTS or Turbo a possibility) and would really like a Racing Green with either Black or Espresso interior. Unfortunately the one you called to our attention has a beige interior; plus, it doesn't have some other options I'd prefer (e.g. PTV+, AS).

Nice to know, however, that if I WERE willing to spring for the custom paint option Racing Green is "approved".

 

I was looking at some incoming 2022 Macan GTS's and see a number of them (7 out of 20) with Paint to Sample colors.

Some of the colors are:
Guards Red
Brewster Green
Etna Blue (2)
Gulf Blue
Dark Blue Metallic

Are people really paying almost $12K to get a special color? Are these more valuable for resale (assume depends on color)? Interesting color like Guards Red is standard color on some other Porsches.

If it was half that, I would be tempted as not that excited by the colors offered (went with Chalk on my GTS but would pay $3K more for something unique)

Who else is ordering a special color and which one?

 

I know someone who ordered a Gulf Blue Panamera . He waited longer for it. I haven't seen the car.

 

I wish I could afford PTS as I would love to have a unique colour. Ultimately I’m happy with Miami Blue as I couldn’t justify the extra $10k. PTS is a luxury that you will not get back on resale. If you can afford it then go for it. It’s great that Porsche offers this option and I’m certainly jealous of all the PTS owners!

 

For PTS, can you get ANY color you want or are you limited to a finite set of options?

 

They provide a list. Not everything is available.
